A bright fun tag today. Today I have worked with EEG18 PaperArtsy Emma Godfrey stamp set. This fabulous bold flower is perfect for this tag. I started by applying PaperArtsy chalk paint in Bouganvillea, Coral and Limelight using a brayer to get that rustic background on the tag. Then stamp in the paint using the circles and the squiggle line stamp to add some extra detail.

On separate card, I applied a mix of the coral and bouganvillea paint and then once dry, stamped the big flowers and cut out.

A few white highlights and a hand-drawn border, and then stamping the lovely wording at the bottom was the finishing touch.

This panel has been created using Glossy cardstock and Alcohol Inks. Apply your colours randomly using the applicator and then start to stamp. Use Archival inks in different shades with your foliage stamps to create some depth and then stamp on your main designs using black. A few white highlights with a white sharpie pen and a little stickles to add some sparkle adds the finishing touches. The sparkle greeting is a Wow stamp set – Born to Sparkle.

This panel has been created using Alcohol Inks in a mix of rich oranges and reds. I’ve applied the ink using the applicator to glossy card and then sprayed it with Stazon Spray stamp cleaner. The cleaner is how I achieve all the white speckles (don’t spray Blending solution as it is flammable!).

The flowers and side pattern are from the Kim Dellow PaperArtsy stamp set – EKD04 – a fabulous bold flower design which has dots that I’ve accented with Stickles and then added some white highlights with my white sharpie pen.

The make a wish is from the ELB28 Lin Brown PaperArtsy set – a favourite of mine as I love my sayings! This is a nice, quick easy project to make – as the designs are so fabulous you don’t need to add a lot of detail to make an eye-catching design.
